GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 10, 1918.

Application filed October 19, 1916. Serial No. 126,601.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, STANLEY LESZC- ZYNSKI and ANTHONY LEszCzYNsKI,citizens of the United States, residing at Gary, in the county of Lakeand State of' Indiana,

have invented certain new and useful Im,

provements in Garments; and we do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use thesame.

Our invention relates to new and useful improvements in garments and ourobject is to provide a garment which may be cut from a section o f goodsand practically all the parts used without creating a wastage of thegoods.

A further object is to so arrange the seams of the garment that it willbe practically impossible to rip the seams loose' from the strainincident to wearing the garment.

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter set forth and moreparticularly pointed out in the accompanying specification.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application,

Figure l is a front elevation of the garment in its completed state.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof.

Fig.` 3 is a front elevation of the garment showing the leg portionsthereof extended at right angles to their normal position.

l Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the manner of cutting a sectionof cloth for forming the various parts of the garment.

Fig. 5 shows one section of the garment after it has been cut from thecloth, and

Fig. 6 is an elevation of a section of cloth for forming the facing ofthe garment.

Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views,

1 indicates the garment which comprises a body portion 2 and legportions 3 and 4, said body portion and leg portions being formed by twoseparate pieces of material which, when properly sewed together, form acomplete garment.

In order to reinforce the parts of the garment, facings 5 are attachedto the front portion of the body of the garment, and a band 6 isdisposed around the upper edge of the body portion.

In cutting the cloth of which the garment is formed, so as to produceall of the parts required in completing the garment in such manner a`sto obviate any wastage of the goods, a strip of goods, such as shown inFig. 4 of the drawings, is cut along the lines 7 and 8, forming the bodyand leg sections of the garment, while the particles of cloth left bycutting along the line. 8, are cut along the lines 9 and 10, thusforming the front and rear band sections G and the facing sections 5,thus utilizing all of the cloth with the exception of the small piecesof cloth cut from the edges of the leg portions 3 and 4, such cut awayportions being shown at 12 in Figs. 4 and 5, the object in providing theeut out portion 12 being to provide a fullness or baggy portion at thecrotch of the garment.

If desired, the strip of cloth may be doubled upon itself so that twofull garments may be cut from the cloth at one operation or any numberof folds may be used, so long as it does not interfere with the cuttingof the cloth along the lines indicated. After the stri of cloth has beencut along the line 7 and t e separated sections then cut along the line8, the point 13 is brought around and registered with the point 14 atone end of the cut away port-ion 12, the edge 15 containing the cut awayportion 12 and 'the edge formed by cutting along the line 7 beingstitched together to form the leg of the garment, and in view of thecurved formation made by cutting along the line 7, the seam 16 caused bystitching the edges together, will extend spirally in the rear of theleg, the seam at the bottom of each leg terminating at the frontport-ion ofthe vgarment and. if desired. draw strings 17 may be employedfor closing the lower ends of the legs of the garment. After the twolegs i of the garment'have been stitched together as shown, the body ofthe garment is formed by sewing together the two sections of the clothalong the edges formed by cutting along the line 8, the edgesthus sewedtogether extending from the points 14 to the upper edge of the garment.

The sections employed for forming the band at the upper edge of the bodyof the garment are formed b v cutting the strip left, after the body andleg portions have been cut from the strip of cloth, along the lines 9and 10, and the remaining portion of the strip left after cutting thelcloth along the lines 7 and 8, is sewed to the free edges of the bodyabove the points 14 to form facings for said edges.

It will thus be seen that we have produced an extremely strong anddurable form of garment and by extending the seam spirally* l around theleg of the garment, it will be their upper portions to form the body ofa garment and having their lower portions folded over to form the legsof the garment of a single piece of material with the seams at the freeedges of each of the leg portions extending from the crotch downwardlyand outwardly across the rearof the -leg portion to the outer sidethereof.

2. Ina garment of the class described, a pair of strips of materialsewed together at their upper portions to form the body of the garmentand having their lower portions folded over to form the legs of thegarment of a single piece of material, the seam for which leg portionsextend from the front of the crotch downwardly at the rear of the vlegand thence outwardly to the front of the leg terminating at av pointabove the lower end thereof to provide a divided portion.

3. In a garment of the class described formed from a pair of stripshaving one edge substantially straight with a crotch point thereon andthe opposite edge curved from its top to a crotch point and thenceextended upon a compound curve to the lower end of the leg, said stripsbeing secured together at the rear of the body and also from the frontof the crotch downwardly and across the back of each of the legportions.

4. The method of cutting a 'garment of the class described comprisingtwo strips, each having one substantially straight 'edge and an oppositeedge extended upon a compound curve, consisting inv disposing said.strips in reverse positions upon a piece' of material with theircompound edges in con# tact, and cutting from the remainder-of thematerial at the ends of said compound curved portions band andfacing'pieces to produce a garment from the minimum amount of material.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses. STANLEY LESZCZYNSKI.`
